If you cannot make long distance calls on your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, ensure that you have long distance service.
Why can't I hear a dial tone on my Panasonic Cordless Telephone?
If you cannot hear a dial tone on your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, it may be due to the base unit’s AC adaptor or telephone line cord not being properly connected. Check these connections. You can also disconnect the base unit from the telephone line and connect the line to a known working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, contact our service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not operate properly, contact your service provider/ telephone company.
What to do if my Panasonic Cordless Telephone does not work?
If your Panasonic Cordless Telephone is not working, ensure the batteries are installed correctly. Fully charge the batteries. Check all connections. Unplug the base unit’s AC adaptor to reset the unit, then reconnect it. It is also possible that the handset has not been registered to the base unit, so register the handset.
Why does my Panasonic KX-TG242SK Cordless Telephone handset not ring?
If your Panasonic Cordless Telephone handset does not ring, ensure that the ringer volume is not turned off and adjust it. Also, check if silent mode is turned on and turn it off.
Why is there noise or cutting in and out on my Panasonic KX-TG242SK?
If you are hearing noise or the sound cuts in and out while using your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, it might be due to electrical interference. Try repositioning the base unit and using the handset away from sources of interference. If you have DSL/ADSL service, consider connecting a DSL/ADSL filter between the base unit and the telephone line jack. Also, ensure you are close enough to the base unit.
Why has the time on my Panasonic KX-TG242SK Cordless Telephone shifted?
If the time on your Panasonic Cordless Telephone has shifted, it may be due to incorrect time information from incoming Caller ID. Set the time adjustment to “Manual” (off).
Why are the caller list/incoming phone numbers not edited automatically on my Panasonic Cordless Telephone?
If the caller list/incoming phone numbers are not edited automatically on your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, the Caller ID number auto edit feature may be turned off. Turn it on and try again. Also, you may need to call back the edited number to activate Caller ID number auto edit.
Why is caller information not displayed on my Panasonic KX-TG242SK?
If caller information is not displayed on your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, you must subscribe to Caller ID service. If your unit is connected to additional telephone equipment, plug the unit directly into the wall jack. If you use a DSL/ADSL service, we recommend connecting a DSL/ADSL filter between the base unit and the telephone line jack. The name display service may not be available in some areas. Other telephone equipment may be interfering with this unit, so disconnect the other equipment and try again.
Why can't I make a call on my Panasonic KX-TG242SK?
If you cannot make a call with your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, the dialing mode may be set incorrectly. Change the setting.
Why does my Panasonic KX-TG242SK Cordless Telephone still flash after fully charging the batteries?
If you fully charged the batteries of your Panasonic Cordless Telephone, but the phone still flashes, displays a battery icon, or the operating time seems shorter, clean the battery ends and the charge contacts with a dry cloth and charge again. It may also be time to replace the batteries.
